President is that it is not his present
intention to summon Congress in
extra session. 1t ~ pretty clear
that if the fiftieth Congress is no
more capable of giving heed to the
demands of public opinion than the
Forty-ninth Congress was nothing
would be gained by an extra session
but it Is also doubtless trae that no
final plan to prevent tie accumula-
ton Of the surplus will be devised
until Congress SHALL legisla.e upon
the subject.

The Kansas City Journal says
that "no obscure compromise will
do for the republican candidate for
president" It declares that "thc
people Of the West want a strong
man at the head of affairs who is
big enough in mental calibrc to
take in nation" This is the right
view. The candidate should be
selected for eminent ability rather
than for presumed availability.

NILESTOWN LETTER.

From time to time we have furnished
our UNCONVENTIONAL press with incidents
transporting in this vicinity in relation tc
our efforts to promote Universalism. AL
will remember the calumnistion and
Islander poured forth from the Methodist
pulpit in the hope Of stamping out the
sentiment so firmly rooted in q few
minds. We would now desire to recapit-
ulate, and also to note few facts after
the conflict.
The first boast made by Rev. Mr.. Phil
lips was that he would crush Universal
ism out of this vicinity. When a half
dozen Universalist sermons were preach
ed here he remained at home. When a
well known resident died, he was unwill-
ing that Universalist minister should
preach the sermon from the pulpit of the
Methodist church. To add to his un-
christian and intolerant act, he betook
himself to an adjoining section. A few
months ago he began a TRADE against
Universalism; and as significant fact OF
their futility, the congregations dwindled
down to meagre few and so it resulted
in much good IN our cause. While the
slanderer thought he was ipjuring us, he
was unwittingly advertising us, and 30
she meant it for evil, God intended it for
good" He has now gone from among
us, and few regrets are heard.
Some lessons may be drawn from this.
The minister who will transcend the
bounds of decency--yea, descend to the
the level OF an INSCRIPTIONS traducer;
who in the presence of death will disre-
gard all clerical courtesy, to say naught
OF neighborly kindness; who will person
ally SANDER and seek to ipjure neigh
boris reputation and social standing
such man should not defile the sanctity
of the sacred desk and should be repudi-
ated by every charitable, Christian man
and woman. J. O. BARRows.

LEIGHTON PARKS ON EARLY RELIGIONS.
Aryan Religions. By Leighton Parks, Rec
tor of Emmanuel Church, Boston. Boston:
Houghton, Miff1in & Co. Crown 8vo. 1872
PIP. Price $1.50.
This volume is in substance the course of
lectures delivered before the Lowell Institute
in 1885, by the author of Christianity and
the Early Aryan Religions" The lectures
have been revised and enlarged, and as now
presented, furnish an exceedingly valuable
contribution to the study of comparative re-
ligion. They discuss in successive chapters
the Religion of the Son of Man," "Veda-
ism," Brahmanism," "Transition from
Brahmanism to Buddhism" Buddhism"
"Christs Religion and Buddhism" "Hin-
duism," "Zoroastrianism," 1.-THE Perversion
of the Gospel" 1.-THE Future of Christ's Re-
ligion." In traversing ground which has
been gone over carefully by Oriental schol-
ars, and especially by such students of COM
parative religion as Max Muller, Hardwick
and Monier Williams, and in our own coun-
try, by James Freeman Clarke and Samuel
johnson, we need not expect that any new
early religions of mankind. Nevertheless
the volume is, as we have termed it, valua-
BILE contribution to the literature of the great
subject. 1t distinctly points out the essen
tial righteousness of these religions and finds
them as SO many searchings after the truth,
which came to the world through Jesus
Christ. 1t shows Christianity as the fulfill
ment of the divine vision through the ages,
and surveys the ancient religions as SO many
manifestations of divine wisdom, gradually
preparing the world for the manifestation
of the life of Christ" The thoroughly sym
pathetic spirit of the writer, with his ample
knowledge of the subject, and clear intui-
tions as to the place of Christianity as the re-
demptive power of the 8orld,-the divine in
strument for the bringing in of the kingdom
of God among the nations, make his volume
a notable addition to the increasing list of
those books which form the best modern in
struments for the study of the Evidences of
Christianity" Incidentally, also, the vol
ume casts considerable light on the claims
and conditions of the so-called "heathen."
and embodies some pregnant suggestions for
those who would doom to eternal misery
those who, not having heard of the Christ,
were nevertheless subjects of that. religious
progress through the ages which God now rec
ognizes and sanctions by the full revelation
which he has vouchsafed in and through his
son. The study of Mr.. Parks volume cannot
fail to broaden out the religious ideas of all
careful readers, and give a most hopeful
tendency to the thought of those who have
esteemed the heather as outside of the ark
of mercy when dying without the knowledge
of Christ. [Chicago: A. G. McClurg & Co.

Akron, o., July 20, 1SS7.-[To the
Editor of The UNIVERSALLY: Another
vacation is upon us. The pastors have
hied themselves away to some retreat
where they hope to rest and recuperate
their wasted energies, and they will re-
turn to prosecute their important calling
with minds and bodies refreshed and re-
invigorated. 1t is well. The heated
term demands immunity from the con-
tinuity of mental and physical toll which
the pastor has endured for ten long
months. But we are not sure that vaca-
tons are an unmixed good. At least we
present, of the church services, is not the
best order OF things possible. May we
not hope that some plan Of union SER
vices may yet be evolved which will give
the preacher the needed rest, and at the
same time allow two or three churches
to unite in one service each Sunday?
Something of this sort, we understand, is
already done in some places,
Mt. Gilead, o.,
being among the number; though wheth-
or this includes the Universallst church
and its pastor, we are not informed. But
with the present advancement in relig-
ious thought and the more charitable
feeling which now prevails among the
churches, we can readily see how the
pastors could arrange among themselves
to have union once-a-S Sunday services, to
accommodate all of each denomination
who remain at home during the summer
months.
1t is pleasant and most OF us desire the
same Immunity from the heat and the
toll which we grant our pastors; but, in
view OF the fact that the forces which OPP
pose the onward progress OF the churches
are all the more active at such time
would it not be best to "hold the fort"
and not give over TO the influences under
which many are brought through the
agency OF Sunday excursions by rail and
boat, by museums, circuses and garden
theatres, all OF which ply their trades
most vigorously and successfully, and

Galesburg. Rev. DR.. Crane has re-
signed his charge at Galesburg and will
preach his last sermon as pastor, July
81. His resignation was accepted some
weeks ago. The parish will probably
not engage successor until the coming
autumn. During the several years DIR.
Crane has been in charge IT the Gales
burg church, he has been faithful pas
tor, and has served all interests of the
church and community with rare ability
He has also been helpful in the Univer-
sity and especially useful in occasional
service in the Divinity School. The
young men studying for the ministry
have received wise counsel as to pastoral
work from his lectures and professional
suggestions. and will always remember
DR.. Crane as constant friendsnd help
or.
He will soon be ready to accept the
charge of another parish, and will be
pleased to correspond with churches able
to give him support We hope DIR.
Cranes services will be retained in the
West. He is one of our ablest preachers,
asound theologisn, and well furnished in
all pastoral directions by ripe and valu-
able experience. The West needs such
men in it's prominent pulpits, and we
trust he will not be allowed to turn his
face permanently Eastward. His ad-
dress is Galesburg until further notice.
Princeton.-T Universalists in this
place have recently decided to unite with
the Unitsrians and other liberal people,
in holding regular services. For the
present services will be held every Sun
day at the houses of those interested, and
when the services of minister are secured
hall will be occupied. This is move
in the right direction. A few weeks will
show the strength which can be devel-
oped. In the mean time tracts and pa
pers will be distributed and interest
aroused. A supply of tracts and copies
of The UNIvERsALIsT have already gone
forward as missionaries. We trust our
earnest friends may succeed in the good
work thus undertaken. IL there is good
prospect for the future after few weeks
of experiment, an organization will no
doubt be secured.
MacOmb.- The society is in most ex-
cellent condition. Rev. George Crum
and his estimable wife have justly won
the esteem of all. Good audiences as
well as largely increased numbers in
Sunday-school are the result. A year
year ago it seemed all they could do to
sustain preaching half of the time; it
now seems perfectly feasible to raise
funds for the entire time and every de-
partment of church work is progressing
finely. The society at Macomb is to be
congratulated. MIR. Crum, who is evil
IDENTIFY working hard and faithfully, may
we'll be encouraged by the fruits of his
labors. THE UNIvERsALIsT is esteemed
by the people of Macomb and no better
evidence of real life is shown than in the
reading OF such literature.

GUS trips; no stop over privileges being
allowed on tickets sold less than full
fares"
We hope that all parties desiring to at
tend the Convention will carefully study
the foregoing instructions and be gov
erned accordingly. Be sure to start right
armed with certificate showing you have
paid full fare to the Convention, then we
can arrange to return you at one-third
fare. 1t will be impossible to rectify mis-
takes after you reach the Convention. So
we say again, read the directions careful
ly and follow them to the letter. Buy
your ticket in good season so as to give
the local agent plenty of time to fill it up.

The book is designed to acquaint our youth
with the plain and unmistakable truths of the
Gospel as held and taught by the Universallst
Church; to answer clearly and candidy the
questions which will always be coming up in

ightened and cheered with the truth of the
primitive Gospel. What do Universslists
believe, and what will their faith do toward
blessing and saving the world?" While it is
not class or text book. it may be profitably
used in the Sunday-school. 1t is intended to
be plain instructor and an attractive COM
